Jigs and Fixtures

Jigs and fixtures are tools used in manufacturing to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and consistency of producing parts. A jig guides the tool (such as a drill) to ensure precise placement and movement, while a fixture securely holds the workpiece in the correct position during machining. Both help automate and standardize the process, reducing errors and increasing production speed. Think of a jig as a template for guiding tools, and a fixture as a holder that stabilizes the workpiece. Together, they make complex or repetitive manufacturing tasks more precise and efficient.
